For the last few years I have gotten a message from Kendall something along the lines of “What’s your latest vision for a shoot?”. Kid you not, that’s how cool this family is. This time I said, “Well it’s a little crazy because I’m pretty pregnant but do you guys want to do family session in a skate park?”. Without hesitation, they were ready for it. And the results? Perfection. So many quotable moments from this day but my favorite was from Kendall when describing the plan, “Well girls, we are going to dance and then we are going to doughnut.” The most fun session ended with this adorable family lined up on the edge of the bowl eating and ‘cheersing’ doughnuts.

They are a perfect example of the magic that happens when you do a few things:

1. Trust your photographer.
2. Go with the flow, enjoy what your kids are into.
3. Make it your own. We played some of their family’s favorite music during the session, enjoyed coffee from a coffee stand across the street, and had the perfect family snack to follow.

Here’s the thing – These sessions don’t just happen in 30 minutes. They take time but they also bring out the most natural family interactions. It is always my deepest honor to photograph families that are ready to invest in moments like these! And yes, Kendall and I are already dreaming up the next session and I can’t wait.
